The Associated Press reported Pittsburgh and Syracuse are moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference from the Big East, formally announced Sunday by the ACC.

That is one of the recent changes that could spark moves in other conferences.

Texas A&M already has announced its intention to join the Southeastern Conference. The boards of regents at Oklahoma and Texas are meeting Monday to discuss the possibility of the universities leaving that conference.

If Texas and the two Oklahoma schools go, that could mean the end of the Big 12 — and that might create the best-case scenario for the Big East.

“We’re not going to talk about any specific scenarios and hypothetical speculation, but you’ve heard me before, we are in the business of being prepared, and looking at different scenarios,” Kansas State athletic director John Currie said. “And we know that we will have K-State in a position — preferably the Big 12 Conference — that is (a BCS) conference competing at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics.”

There already has been speculation that West Virginia would be a target for the SEC to balance that conference geographically and grow to 14 members if and when Texas A&M finally joins. Missouri could wind up in the SEC or even the Big Ten, though Commissioner Jim Delany has said his league is set with 12 but could reconsider if other conferences make additions.
